May 07, 2021 Amazing trek to Everest Base Camp. I traveled to Nepal in April to do the famous 18 day Everest base camp trek with friends. It was truly the most amazing and unforgettable adventure and I only wished I had longer to stay in the country. The trek is challenging but the beauty of the Himalayas and the feeling of accomplishment when you reach the camp is second to none. Shailesh and other guides were always friendly and happy to share their detailed knowledge of the region with us. From helping us get all the right gear before the trek to organising sightseeing trips around Kathmandu when we returned, Shailesh was always happy to help in any way he could. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of trekking in Nepal and Gokyo chola and Everest base camp
